72.1/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

An Excellent grain-free turkey kibble with one extra job: plaque and tartar. ProDen PlaqueOff, a seaweed supplement, is printed at 2,500 mg/kg, which is rare for a dental additive. Turkey at 33% and dried chicken at 18.7% front the list, and the joint trio is dosed too.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs prone to plaque and tartar, or whose breath reaches the room first
A puppy and adults on one recipe, written for both
Large breed puppies, calcium declared at 1.3% of dry matter
Busy dogs that burn off a dense 394 kcal per 100g
Joint support with doses: glucosamine and MSM at 850 mg/kg each

Worth watching

Chicken in the dried meat, the fat and the gravy behind the turkey headline
Salmon oil at 1.2%, a little fish in every bowl
The seaweed works slowly through the saliva, so give teeth a few weeks
